Scottish fiddle legend to play in Bend
Alasdair Fraser is a leg-
end in the world of Scottish
fiddle. Three years ago, he
and cellist Natalie Haas per-
formed at the Sisters Folk
Festival.
Fraser and Haas are
returning to Central
Oregon for a matinee per-
formance at the Tower
Theatre in Bend on Sunday,
November 11 at 3 p.m.
The event is a fundraiser
for “Save a Warrior” and
for Bend2Baja2Build and
also features performances
by Deschutes Caledonian
Pipes and Drums Band; A
Scottish Heart, Bend’s pre-
mier Scottish musical group;
The High Desert Scottish
Country Dancers; Professor
James Knox; and piper David
Brock, “The Lone Piper,”
pays tribute to veterans and
the fallen on Veterans Day.
Fraser has a concert and
recording career spanning
over 30 years, with a long list
of awards, accolades, radio
and television credits, and
feature performances on top
movie soundtracks (“Last of
the Mohicans,” “Titanic”).
In 2011, he was inducted
into the Scottish Traditional
Music Hall of Fame.
Haas, a graduate of the
Juilliard School of Music, is
one of the most sought-after
cellists in traditional music

today. She has performed and
recorded with a who’s who
of the fiddle world includ-
ing Mark O’Connor, Natalie
MacMaster, Irish supergroups
Solas and Altan, Liz Carroll,
Dirk Powell, Brittany Haas,
Darol Anger, Jeremy Kittel,
Hanneke Cassel, Laura
Cortese, and more.
This seemingly unlikely
pairing of fiddle and cello
is the fulfillment of a long-
standing musical dream for
Fraser. His search led him to
find a cellist who could help
return the cello to its histori-
cal role at the rhythmic heart
of Scottish dance music,
where it stood for hundreds of
years before being relegated
to the orchestra. The duo’s
debut recording, “Fire &
Grace,” won the coveted
Scots Trad Music “Album of
the Year” award, the Scottish
equivalent of a Grammy.
Since its release, the two
have gone on to record four
more critically acclaimed
albums that blend a profound
understanding of the Scottish
tradition with cutting-edge
string explorations. In addi-
tional to performing, they
both have motivated genera-
tions of string players through
their teaching at fiddle camps
across the globe.
